Bhojpuri industry goes high-tech

A Bhojpuri production house already in collaboration with an American production company called PUN Films has now entered Indian markets with a target to churn out high-quality Bhojpuri films.

This Indo-US joint venture has produced seven films in US including award winning films like Fortune Teller and Trauma. Their mission is to bring new techniques and technologies to Bhojpuri film making, which includes digital cinematography and special effects.

PUN Films’ first Bhojpuri production, which is yet to be titled, has Ravi Kishan in the lead role with Nirmal Pandey playing the villain. The female lead is Shikha, who has already appeared in two hit Bhojpuri films. The other star casts include well known Bhojpuri actors such as Komal, Seema Singh, Nilima Singh, Brajesh Tripathi, Vinod Mishra, Shameem Khan, Phool Singh, among others.

The film will be directed by experienced FTII graduate, Dhiraj Singh, who has worked earlier with Ram Gopal Varma. The music will be scored by Rajesh-Rajneesh. For the first time in the history of Bhojpuri film making, new digital cinematography techniques will be used in the making of this film using Red-One camera by award winning cinematographer, Dhirendra Shukla.

The post production team will include specialists from American film industry. The producers of PUN Films are very excited with this venture and claim- this film will set a new trend for quality films and raise the production value of films in the Bhojpuri industry. Following this production another two productions are also lined up for future release which are well kept secret.
